Apparently Kate Middleton thinks Meghan Markle is getting too much 'special' treatment...Meghan recently accompanied Queen Elizabeth to Cheshire, England for a day of public events. But it wasn't just a day with the queen that annoyed Kate. Elizabeth actually gifted Meghan a pair of pearl earrings for the trip.

A close source has told In Touch…

They're barely on speaking terms. The popularity contest has caused a lot of friction at the palace.

And apparently the so-called 'special treatment' Meghan is getting doesn't just stop there. Up until now, they were staying at Harry's Nottingham Cottage, on the grounds of Kensington Palace, but they are soon moving into Apartment 1, right next to Kate and Prince William's Apartment 1A.

The close source said that Kate doesn't think it's fair that Meghan and Harry are getting Apartment 1 because it's reportedly one room larger. Someone on Kate's staff even sent a nasty email accusing Meghan of getting special treatment. Unfortunately, the contents of the email got back to Meghan, and she felt hurt and betrayed by it.

Kate was supposed to be Meghan's friend. She taught Meghan everything she knows about royal protocol, but when Kate started to feel threatened by all of the attention Meghan was receiving, she cut her out. She has completely stopped giving Meghan any advice.

After everything Meghan has dealt with leading up to the wedding, issues with Kate probably aren't the first problems on her list to resolve.
